And away she goes...


It's official...Julia can crawl. Oh my, life is changing around here. I think I'm okay with Jocelyn taking her time on this one...I can only imagine what it's going to be like when I have them both going in different directions!

We also want to mention Julia and Jocelyn's sweet cousin Abigail. She is currently in Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD with hemolytic uremic syndrome. She is constantly in our thoughts and prayers and we hope she feels better soon. If you'd like to read her story our send her a note you may visit her CaringBridge website at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/abigailclemens . We love you Abigail!

family time

Yes, this may be the longest slide show to date. This means one of two things...I'm either getting really behind or the girls just keep getting cuter! :) I'm afraid both are true. We were blessed by a visit from Grandma Diana and Grandpa Gregg. We all had such a wonderful time together...the girls LOVE their grandma and grandpa! We were actually able to go on a date to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary. What an amazing eight years it has been; but I have a feeling this will be the best one yet thanks to our little munchkins. Speaking of, it's time to update you on some highlights.

They give great hugs. They love to dance with their mom. They hold hands while sitting in their high chairs. They giggle. Neither one will sleep through the night. They love to look at their puppy Belle. Whoever is in the front of the stroller will certainly be kicked from behind. They have both been "teething" for well over a month now, yet still no teeth! They love peek-a-boo or any other surprise. They both know their names. They are completely in love with their dad.
Jocelyn will win a staring contest with anyone who dares to play. She is apparently a vegetarian. She loves to babble and "talk" and will sit contently unless Julia steals her toy. Then she will make multiple rolls after her trying to catch her. She also had her first haircut.
Julia says ma-ma-ma-ma. I really think she knows that's me. :) She plays with sunshine on the floor. She isn't a picky eater, nor does she ever stop. She does the "army crawl," rolls, and scoots to wherever she desires...but, of course, finds the electrical outlet and power cords most appealing.

I've had to start and stop writing this about five times now...I think my time is up. Thank you again to Grandma Diana and Grandpa Gregg for visiting...we really appreciated it and enjoyed every moment.
